Primary propene insertion occurs when the CH2 group of the olefin binds to the metal. Top views the two coordination intermediates that will give rise to primary propene insertion. Secondary propene insertion occurs when the CH2 group of the olefin binds to the growing chain. Bottom views the two coordination intermediates that will give rise to secondary propene insertion. 

The actual bonding step can proceed via a insertion (primary insertion) or via P insertion (secondary insertion) ...

Insertion Reactions. Isocyanates also may undergo iasertion reactions with C—H bonds. Acidic compounds, such as 1,3-dicarbonyl compounds (6), react readily at room temperature to form carboxyamides. At higher temperatures carboxyamides frequentiy undergo secondary reactions leading to cyclized products (33,34). 

Recirculating Ste m Generator. The corrosion performance of many RSGs in commercial power stations in the United States has been marginal (2). Many tube bundles have had to be replaced. Many tubes have been plugged or sleeved with inserts as a result of excessive corrosion on the secondary side. 

Gel coats are typicaHy used to provide a part with a finished surface directly from the mold. Various inserts, stiffeners, and mechanical attachments can be incorporated in the mol ding step, thereby further reducing secondary operations. Final edge trimming is accompHshed with a variety of tools such as... 

CH3)3Si)2N]2U(CH2Si((CH3)2)N(Si(CH3)3)) Generally, uranium metaUacycles are quite reactive inserting a host of organics, ie, CO, secondary amines, nitriles, isonitriles, aldehydes, ketones, and alcohols. 

Methylene from diazirine has higher energy of vibration than the product from photolysis of ketene, but it is more discriminating in insertion reactions into primary and secondary C—H bonds. 

The secondary and tertiary structures of myoglobin and ribonuclease A illustrate the importance of packing in tertiary structures. Secondary structures pack closely to one another and also intercalate with (insert between) extended polypeptide chains. If the sum of the van der Waals volumes of a protein s constituent amino acids is divided by the volume occupied by the protein, packing densities of 0.72 to 0.77 are typically obtained. This means that, even with close packing, approximately 25% of the total volume of a protein is not occupied by protein atoms. Nearly all of this space is in the form of very small cavities. Cavities the size of water molecules or larger do occasionally occur, but they make up only a small fraction of the total protein volume. It is likely that such cavities provide flexibility for proteins and facilitate conformation changes and a wide range of protein dynamics (discussed later). 

Transfer RNA (tRNA) serves as a carrier of amino acid residues for protein synthesis. Transfer RNA molecules also fold into a characteristic secondary structure (marginal figure). The amino acid is attached as an aminoacyl ester to the 3 -terminus of the tRNA. Aminoacyl-tRNAs are the substrates for protein biosynthesis. The tRNAs are the smallest RNAs (size range—23 to 30 kD) and contain 73 to 94 residues, a substantial number of which are methylated or otherwise unusually modified. Transfer RNA derives its name from its role as the carrier of amino acids during the process of protein synthesis (see Chapters 32 and 33). Each of the 20 amino acids of proteins has at least one unique tRNA species dedicated to chauffeuring its delivery to ribosomes for insertion into growing polypeptide chains, and some amino acids are served by several tRNAs. For example, five different tRNAs act in the transfer of leucine into...

Another consideration is the ability of a material to provide a surface that is compatible with the requirements of the application a smooth finish for extruded profiles, molded-in colors, textured surfaces, etc. The compatibility of the major processes with in-mold coating and other insert-surfacing materials, and their compatibility with surface decoration secondary processes, could also be important. 

These differences have been attributed to various factors caused by the introduction of new structural features. Thus isopentane has a tertiary carbon whose C—H bond does not have exactly the same amount of s character as the C—H bond in pentane, which for that matter contains secondary carbons not possessed by methane. It is known that D values, which can be measured, are not the same for primary, secondary, and tertiary C—H bonds (see Table 5.3). There is also the steric factor. Hence, it is certainly not correct to use the value of 99.5 kcal mol (416 kJ mol ) from methane as the E value for all C—H bonds. Several empirical equations have been devised that account for these factors the total energy can be computed if the proper set of parameters (one for each structural feature) is inserted. Of course these parameters are originally calculated from the known total energies of some molecules that contain the structural feature.
